Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 132 Chapter 132, the dust of seizing the military power has settled, and Zhu Cihong has won a complete victory
After listening to Zhu Cihong's words, seeing the pistol being pushed to his forehead, beads of sweat began to drip out of Ma Shiying's head.

Ma Shiying stammered and said: "His Royal Highness, don't be like this, if you have something to say, speak it well, speak it well."

Zhu Cihong shrugged his shoulders and said: "Didn't I give you a chance to speak well? But you don't cherish it. If you hand over your military power properly, I can certainly give you glory and wealth, but you But he only thinks about his one-acre three-point land, so what can I do? Well, stop talking nonsense and make your choice."

Ma Shiying was still a little hesitant, but at this moment a general behind him suddenly broke out and shouted: "You are the prince and not the emperor, why should you shout at our governor? Let your majesty bring the imperial decree, otherwise we Feng Yang Jun will never obey your orders!"

Zhu Cihong raised his hand and shot.

With a bang, the general's eyes widened and he stared at Zhu Cixiang in disbelief.

There was already a blood hole in his chest, and a regretful expression appeared on his face when he fell down.

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that there are some things that really shouldn't be said casually.

The gun exploded right next to Ma Shiying's ear, and one can imagine Ma Shiying's fright.

Caught off guard, Ma Shiying yelled and almost peed on his pants on the spot.

Even Zuo Menggeng, who had always wanted to resist with all his strength, was dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

Shi Kefa's eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. He really didn't expect that His Royal Highness's methods would be so decisive and direct!
Zhu Cilang calmly blew on the muzzle of his gun, and then looked around at the captured generals present.

"Who else, come out and take two steps?"

No one dared to look at Zhu Cihong, everyone lowered their heads, fearing that they would become Zhu Cihong's next target.

Zhu Cilang withdrew his gaze, landed on Ma Shiying again, and said lightly: "Of course I understand the thoughts of you people. It's nothing more than feeling that Ming Dynasty is dying and precarious. Maybe it will be like the Han and Tang Dynasties someday." Falling apart, right?"

Zhu Cilang stretched out the gun barrel and patted Ma Shiying's cheek, feeling the heat of the gun barrel after firing, Ma Shiying screamed, and quickly turned away, as if it was a piece of red-hot iron.

Zhu Cixiang said slowly: "But you are wrong. The Ming Dynasty has not yet died, and it will never die! As the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, I have to help you understand the reality."

Zhu Cihong straightened up, looked at Ma Shiying, Zuo Menggeng and others in the big tent, and said: "I will ask you one last time, are you willing to cooperate with me and hand over your military power?"

Ma Shiying's face turned pale, and he shouted: "His Royal Highness, spare my life! As long as His Highness is willing to spare my life, I will be willing to do anything, and I can cooperate with anything!"

Ma Shiying was really scared. After all, he was a member of the official class of the Ming Dynasty. What he thought most about was to become the chief assistant of the cabinet in the future, and become a powerful minister like Zhang Juzheng. He is absolutely unwilling to take his life as the price.

The most important point is, of course, as Zhu Cihong just said, Ma Shiying does not have a father with 10,000+ troops stationed in Hubei and Jiangxi to bargain with the Ming court!

Ma Shiying's words were shouted out, and the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly changed again.

The generals of the Fengyang Army on Ma Shiying's side had complicated expressions, but it could be seen that they were relieved.

In any case, since Governor Ma has already stated his position, as a general under his command, at least he will not die here after surrendering his military power.

On the other side, Zuo Menggeng's face was also pale, but his eyes were full of anger.

Zuo Menggeng yelled: "Ma Shiying, you spineless thing, you have clearly agreed before, why do you still hand over the military power!"

Zhu Cihong snorted, and looked at Zuo Menggeng curiously: "You bastard, do you think you haven't received enough slaps?"

Zuo Menggeng's body trembled slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "His Royal Highness, it is unspiritual for you to do so. Have you ever thought that our Zuo's army would give in so easily?"

Facing Zuo Menggeng's words, Zhu Cihong laughed out loud.

Then, Zhu Cihong walked up to Zuo Menggeng, and slapped him eight times in total.

Zhu Cihong's attack was very heavy, so after the beating, Zuo Menggeng completely turned into a speechless pig.

Looking at Zuo Zhutou in front of him, Zhu Cilang said lightly: "Since it is your Zuo family's army and not Daming's army, why should I treat them as I treat the Ming army? You don't really think so, just With [-] soldiers of yours, you can resist so many great elites brought by this palace and the Duke of England, right?"

An obvious fact is that the army in the north of Ming Dynasty is better at fighting than the army in the south.

This is because the north has to deal with the most ferocious slaves all year round, so the best army of the Ming Dynasty must always guard the north, and only the second-rate army will fight against Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others in the southern part of the Central Plains.

As for the [-] troops under Zuo Menggeng's command, they couldn't even beat bandits like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, and they couldn't even be counted as second-rate troops.

Zhu Cilang said sarcastically: "No one really thinks that a [-] third-rate army without a chief general and so many high-ranking generals can compete with the main force army that has the order of His Majesty the Ming Emperor, is led by the Duke of Great Britain, and is under the command of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Fight?"

Zuo Menggeng was dumbfounded.

The words Zhu Cihong said were like a sledgehammer, hitting Zuo Menggeng's head heavily, making him feel dizzy (maybe it was because Zhu Cihong's slap just now really hit him in the head oscillated).

Zhu Cihong ignored Zuo Menggeng, but walked to the generals brought by Ma Shiying and Zuo Menggeng.

"I know that you followed these two guys in the past, and you did something that was not good for Daming and disrespectful to the court and the emperor. If I want to pursue it, none of you should be able to live today. out of here."

Hearing Zhu Cihong's words, the hearts of these generals trembled immediately.

They are all people who have fought in battle and know what kind of role is a ruthless one.

A master like Zhu Cihong who shoots directly at a disagreement is absolutely doing what he says, and if he dies on the fifth watch, he will definitely not live to the third watch.

If Zhu Cihong really turned up the old score, I am afraid that all the big guys will be planted here today.

Zhu Cihong looked at the terrified generals and smiled.

"However, I can tell you the truth. The current situation of the Ming Dynasty is indeed not very good, so the Ming Dynasty is in great need of a group of talented people who can lead troops to fight and are loyal. If you are willing to obey the imperial court from today on If you don't want to, I can let you leave directly, but you can't take away a single soldier. Okay, now make your move. Decide."

After hearing Zhu Cihong's words, all the generals were stunned.

I thought I was going to die just now, why did His Highness the Crown Prince's conditions become so lenient again in a blink of an eye?
Accidents are accidents, but everyone understands that at this moment they can only follow the path given by Zhu Cihong.

After a short while, a general said: "His Royal Highness, from today onwards, the last general is willing to lead his subordinates to obey the imperial court's orders unconditionally!"

After the general finished speaking, Zuo Mengeng shouted angrily: "Shi Jian, how dare you betray our Zuo family?"

The general named Shi Jian shook his head, and said to Zuo Menggeng seriously: "General Zuo's words are wrong. The last general came all the way, and I have repeatedly persuaded him to ask the general to do everything for the people of the Ming Dynasty, and he must wholeheartedly cooperate with the British. Your Royal Highness and the Crown Prince cooperate. But what you see today is that General Zuo stubbornly resisted His Highness for his own selfishness. Now that Shi has turned his back on his ways and joined His Highness, why not?"

Zuo Menggeng burst into anger, and was about to continue yelling, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhu Cihong raising his hand with a half-smile.

Zuo Menggeng's body trembled, and he subconsciously closed his mouth.

Zhu Cihong's slap was really painful, the kind that hurt to the bone.

With the first, soon there will be the second, and the third.

"Your Highness, please spare me! The final general is willing to obey the court."

"Your Highness, the general is also willing."

……

One after another, many generals stood up and showed their loyalty to the court and their obedience to the British Duke.

In the end, most of the generals chose to obey.

Seeing this, Zhu Cihong looked at Duke Ying with a smile: "Master, next step is your business."

Although these generals expressed their loyalty verbally, there is still a big question mark on the actual effect.

The British Duke also smiled and said: "Your Highness, please rest assured that I will resolve this matter as soon as possible!"

For the British Duke, it would be great to be able to recruit Zuo Menggeng and Ma Shiying's [-] troops at one time.

But that's not to say there are no die-hards. One general shouted loudly: "I am a member of the Zuo family, and my death will be the fault of the Zuo family. Your Highness, please kill me!"

This is the first general to stand up and express dissatisfaction.

Zhu Cihong looked at this general who looked at death like home, and smiled.

"You are a fool, and you are a damn thing. But as I said before, today I am here to gather military power, not to kill people at will. You will be escorted to Fengyang soon, and when you arrive in Fengyang Afterwards you will be free, remember to tell that idiot Zuo Liangyu at that time, that the little idiot he gave birth to is in the hands of Bengong!"

With a wave of Zhu Cihong's hand, the general was directly dragged away.

After seeing that this person was indeed not dead, several people expressed disobedience and wanted to leave one after another, and Zhu Cihong agreed to them all.

At this point, the dust has settled.

The British Duke and Li Guozhen left with the group of generals who surrendered. They still have a lot of things to do. It is a big project to incorporate these troops into the imperial army system in the shortest possible time.

As for Zhu Cihong...

Fang Gongqian approached, and said softly to Zhu Cihuang: "Your Highness, how should we deal with these two ignorant and disobedient people who are vainly trying to support their own self-respect?"

Zhu Cihong looked at Ma Shiying and Zuo Menggeng who were trembling in front of him, and smiled slightly.

"Take them down and raise them well, it's still useful for me to keep them alive!"
